Are there any anime/manga/light novel characters that could be beasts?

Comment

I’ve read the first 7. I haven’t gotten ahold of 8 yet. I absolutely love them, though. I started with the anime, and my wife and I both thought it seemed like a good Beast story. I enjoyed the cartoon enough that I sought out the light novels, and I have no regrets. I haven’t read the mangas yet.

While a bit of a stretch in points, Overlord could serve with some ideas. Specifically, Sebas Tian, who has a Hunger for Punishment if the latest episode is anything to go by. While he is indeed going out of his way to teach (harsh) lessons, accepting that they might kill the learner, those seem to be disconnected from his Hunger, so not applicable.
His Atavisms would be Cyclopean Strength, Limb from Limb and Eye of Heaven, maybe Lightning Strike from what we've seen so far. I'd say he's probably a benevolent Anakim. His Horror is most likely his true form (he's some sort of Draconid, apparently). If his battle-aura is anything to go by, his Lair-traits would be ice-based. Pure WMG but could be Overgrowth and Extreme Cold.

Edit:
Naberal Gamma could be an Inguma Predator, her Horror a shapeshifting Doppelganger. Her Atavisms are Enemy Within, Alien Mindset, Lightning Strike and Storm-Lashed, possibly also Wings of the Raptor (to represent Fly).

Ainz is a Mage for sure, don't see a way to represent him as a Beast. Still, he'd be the Apex of Ainz Ool Gown.

It's less the 'Beast' aspect and more the feel of the thing, but I can't help but feel that HOMRA from K Project would make for a good example for a more casual Primordial Cult. Mikoto Suoh is the Beast, and the rest are pyrokinetic psychics of various brands that he's gathered to himself.

Or alternatively Guts from Berserk is a Hero hunting a Ugallu Tyrant Apex in the form of Griffith.

It also goes without saying that all the Apostles are Beasts, most of them being Namtaru and Eshmaki Predators. However the elite Apostles of the Neo Band of the Hawk are all Apexs (is that the plural for Apex?) gathered from around the world under Griffith's banner.

Zod and Grunbeld are Anakim Nemeses, considering they both see Guts as a worthy adversary and have a code of honor in battle.
